wanting to get a bit back in shape eat. healthy and go to the gym and exercise. get my cardio and I was. uh how should I put this I know you. don't think of me as the most athletic. person and trust me I don't either Ken. it's so funny you say that because when. I think of you going to the gym I. picture a gym from 1910 and you have a. friend who yeah you have that one of. those yeah those jiggling belts but also. you throw a medicine ball and then there. are some wooden pins that you toss. around I did play soccer for a number of.

years when I was a kid and and actually. played club soccer and All-Star soccer. believe it or not and I am going back.

Conan's remote I mean do you have any. tips for I don't remember I shot so many. remotes over so many years that uh I. have dim memories I'd have to re-watch. how many times have you played soccer. I think you watched it yeah I don't. think I really played soccer I it was. soccer was not my sport my legs are way. too long so for uh any kind of message. to get from my brain to my feet oh yeah. it takes like four days it's like a. Flintstones bit where they you know they. they hand a note to a bird that has to.

take off you'd be better off shouting. the message to your feet exactly yeah uh. so I I don't remember that too well but. um yeah I was I I know that uh soccer is. not my sport although I admire it I I. think they're probably the best athletes. because they run that's what scares me. and hottest and are they oh oh well yeah. I got that I I think so them and hockey. players yeah I mean I don't understand.

hockey players cover their right soccer. we are we are have helmets on yeah the. soccer players we are okay is that true. you uh I think so okay yeah that's why I. watched the world World Cup the what cup. the World Cup. [Laughter]. this show is sponsored by better help. okay imagine you're looking at a scale. with everything you do for others on one. side and then on the other side of the. scale is everything you do for yourself. the question is is it balanced I think.

in a lot of cases that's probably not. the situation well guess what therapy. can help you clarify your values find. more balance in your life so you can. keep being a rock star for others. without forgetting yourself in the. process to be honest I've never been a. rock star for anybody. but I get the idea so if you're thinking. of starting therapy I think you've. better help but try here's the cool. thing it's entirely online it's designed. to be convenient flexible and suited to. your schedule so what you do is you fill.

out a brief questionnaire to get matched. with a licensed therapist and switch. therapist anytime for no additional. charge and I think one of the barriers. to getting therapy for a lot of people. is. I don't know I gotta go in I gotta sit. there with this person it's going to be. awkward what if it's not a good fit. I'm gonna feel weird saying this doesn't. work for me and not coming back all of. that's eliminated uh with better help so. find more balance with better help visit. betterhelp.com Conan today to get 10 off.

your first month that's better help. h-e-l-p.com slash Conan what's the. process of you getting into shape uh I I. run on a treadmill I run a about four. miles a week okay and then I do a little. bit of strength training and then I've. tried to change my diet the only problem. I haven't been able to fix is cocktails. I still gotta have my that's a lot. of sugar there's a lot of empty calories. are there steaks. do you. you compete against the other teams do.

you guys win a Trope oh yeah yeah. there's a trophy but I'm nervous you. know what I found you can go buy the. trophies oh I know I passed trophy. stores all the time and I just go in and. buy them my shelves are filled with. amazing trophies. that's a big big deal here in Los. Angeles yeah so uh so what's the plan so. you're getting there I'm I'm a little. nervous because I've never been a great. endurance guy I can Sprint pretty well. and I'm tenacious mentally but I think. my body's gonna give out pretty quick.

especially if it's hot so we'll see how. long has it been since you last played. soccer yeah. I've never seen you stand up no I don't. I swear to God all these five years. we've been working together and he's. always seated and I saw you once on the. sidewalk and you were in a rolling chair. yeah that's right Shuffling from an. office and you were just shoveling. yourself along I played uh like I said. when I was a kid and then I joined. soccer in high school but uh they didn't. really play me.

that's usually a not a good sign it's on. your team Eduardo now how good are you. Eduardo I'm okay I bet he's pretty I bet. he's yeah he's that that means he's. really why don't you give me the benefit. of the doubt. um let me try that ask me how good I am. how good are you I'm I'm okay. um I think you're exaggerating. I'm sorry so if if one was to play. soccer does that make them hot does the. tail wagon you're back to that.

um yeah I'm sort of stuck on that one. I'd like to be thought of as hot and I'm. curious if I played soccer and you. didn't know me and you saw the guy my. age playing soccer on the field in super. short shorts oh boy like really short I. think I'd be like why is his. coordination off and then because these. guys are they're running for such a long. time the whole time and they don't. they're just wearing a shirt and shorts. and like long socks you know what's.

funny I'm into I would be okay with it I. would play if I could be on a pony no. one else is I'm the only one so I'm. playing Polo and I have a big like uh. like a mallet but everyone else is. running but I'm on a pony no and I mean. a very small pony like my legs are. dragging. why are you on a pony I don't know I. just I like the visual of Conan's gonna. play and he's paying for all of our. jerseys and he's paying for all the. snacks but there's one caveat he has to.

be he's he brought a pony with him and. actually I have like seven ponies. because it's so hot I was gonna see the. ponies probably would pass out I would. put camelbacks on them you know uh that. bikers wear and they'll have hoses going. into their mouths so they're constantly. drinking nutritious uh Waters maybe you. could be our team manager and maybe Sona. can be our team mom and you can be the. manager I want to be I want to lose it. all the time I want to be someone who. gets to give a yellow card. yeah I'd like to be a rap and I would. just I would just be thrown I would I.

would love that I would like that on the. podcast if one of you gets out of line. or says something I don't like I can. just toss cards around it needs that. kind of thing yeah I'm above the law no. you're offsides I'm on a I'm on a pony. soccer uh well I'm listen I'm looking. forward to it and maybe I'll come check. you guys out he said not meaning it yeah. soda said she'd go I well she wants to. Ogle the guy oh yeah clearly she wants. to get a look at her old co-worker in. the soccer gear that's it that's it I'm.
